Interesting. Looks like this Tamiya 6x6 is becoming a thing. Tamiya Dynahead 6×6 « Big Squid RC – RC Car and Truck News, Reviews, Videos, and More! |

Just saw this. It's pretty cool. Probably nothing I'd ever buy only because I don't have the room for as many RCs as I want. I do wonder what the TR suffix means in the model name. I believe the Kong Head was a G6-01. |

From the article: * Modeled after off-road trials trucks * Hub reduction axles for increased ground clearance * Length- 453mm, width- 244mm, height- 232mm * Special cab design by Takayuki Yamazaki of PDC Design-Works * V-tread tires with 5 spoke wheels * Optional rear steering * Comes with a 540 brushed motor * 1/18th scale kit they list: 'Hub reduction axles for increased ground clearance' Portals?? I cant see a ton from the photo. EDIT: I just looked up PDC Design works and its fairly interesting http://www.pdcdesignworks.com/ there some RC stuff and 1:1 stuff, I spotted a 1:1 sand scorcher, just let the slide show on the main page roll and it will come up Last edited by HumboldtEF; 10-04-2018 at 10:06 AM. |

The PDC website does have some cool stuff. I like the matching scooter to go with the Sand Scorcher. | |

Yes, it has portals. Lowers the gearing as well for off road use. I may have to give in and check one of these out. Those wheels and tires would be the first thing in the dumpster though. |

Just the graphic on the box for now. Looks like a 4 gear design. Should bolt over to other vehicles as well - anything with a TL01 based suspension which is quite a few vehicles. Wouldn't be hard to adapt them to the front of a CC01 as well. My gears are turning....lol. |

Not sure if this is from this kit, but it was in the Tamiyaclub post on this kit. |

All 4 gears? I'm curious to see what you do with the portals. | |

I always wondered if there is anything cool at tamiya usa headquarters here in Irvine. Its about 2 hours north for me and about 20 minutes south for browneye. I would go if there was cool stuff on display. Hell I should just go anyway. At very least they have a SICK road course there! Just gotta dial in my on roads so its not a wasted trip... Those portals are rad!!! Now they need to step up their game and give us a 4 linked, solid axle, capable (and tamiya scale excellence) crawler chassis! |

Looking forward to more details. I'm liking the look of the body.

If they constructed a new road course at their Irvine location, I have not heard of it. | |
